Thinking Quotes by Lawrence Wright

Lawrence Wright

Hubbard set up the Church of Scientology in Hollywood in 1954 for a reason. He understood that celebrity was increasingly a feature of American public life, and celebrities themselves were going to be worshipped as minor deities were in the ancient world. The idea was: if you could get them, think how many people would follow.

I don’t dispute Scientology can help people; I think that is a very important fact to keep in mind.

I think we give Jimmy Carter too much credit to think he knew what was going to happen when he used the word “apartheid.” It’s provocative, but it was like a nuclear bomb in Israel. And yet that word is used all the time in the Israeli press. There’s a double standard there. He probably picked it up in Israel, as it’s commonly discussed. I’d be a little surprised if he understood how it was going to be used against him. He doesn’t have a highly developed emotional detector. As a politician, that was a weakness.

To me the notion that Palestinians are actually Jews is, I think, quite revelatory and very radical and a possible bridge that has been ignored, I think, in this entire controversy and there’s ample evidence to support it.

We hear a lot about theological justifications for the conflicts, but very little about the scientific evidence, which in no way supports them. The time period in which Moses was leading his people out of Egypt, into the Promised Land, the Promised Land was Egypt. We know that. Archaeological records are very clear. The Egyptians were avid bureaucrats even in those days and kept very scrupulous records. I think it’s important for us to realize this conflict is built on a legend. It has no scientific support.
